lyrics
* * * * * * * * * *
if the night turned cold and the stars looked down
and you hug yourself on the cold , cold ground
you wake the morning in a stranger ' s coat
no one would you see
you ask yourself , who ' D watch for me
my only friend , who could it be
it ' s hard to say it , i hate to say it
but it ' s probably me

when your belly ' s empty and the hunger ' s so real
and you ' re too proud to beg and too dumb to steal
you search the city for your only friend
no one would you see
you ask yourself , who could it be
a solitary voice to speak out and set me free
i hate to say it , i hate to say it
but it ' s probably me

you ' re not the easiest person i ever got to know
and it ' s hard for us both to let our feelings show
some would say i should let you go your way
you ' ll only make me cry
if there ' s one guy , just one guy
who ' D lay down his life for you and die
it ' s hard to say it , i hate to say it
but it ' s probably me

when the world ' s gone crazy and it makes no sense
there ' s only one voice that comes to your defense
and the jury ' s out and your eyes search the room
and one friendly face is all you need to see
if there ' s one guy , just one guy
who ' D lay down his life for you and die
it ' s hard to say it , i hate to say it
but it ' s probably me
i hate to say it , i hate to say it
but it ' s probably me
